    4.5 stars. I'm amazed at the incredible thought and meticulous detail the developers took to execute such an incredible anchor to the revamped Gas Lamp District of downtown Cambridge. So many details of this once thriving textile manufacturing mill have been preserved while allowing for a modernized, elegant, and enticing dining experience. There's a rich history worth discovering here. The ambience is bright and airy yet perfect for special occasions and date nights. Take a moment to be curious about the surroundings and their rich history and marvel at the historic pictures that gracefully adorn every wall. The outdoor seating is expansive and perfect for the warm weather months. Menu contains a wide variety of shareable small plates, nibbles, large plates, and sandwiches. If you find yourself dining between 3pm - 4pm, you'll only be offered the limited late night menu while the kitchen turns for dinner service. We got a few items from the small bite menu to start including short rib bonbons and the soup of the day which was homemade chicken noodle. All I can say is this isn't amateur hour at the Foundry. The short rib bonbons consist of tender braised flavorful shredded short rib meat gently coated and fried GB&D in a delicate tempura coating. Served with a beer mustard and ponzu dipping sauce. An absolute flavor bomb I consider a signature must have on every visit. The chicken noodle soup just blew me away. To just call it homemade from scratch doesn't do it justice. It's everything you want your soup to be when making it at home, but would spend years perfecting it to this degree. These two dishes will not soon be forgotten. The local beetroot salad was one of the freshest and inspired beet salads I've had in a long time. Served with pumpkin seed tahini and goat cheese puree. Excellent. Entrees were very impressive. Roasted steelhead trout with smoked fingerlings and citrus beurre blanc was executed to perfection. Every detail was right from the expertly crisped skin to the hint of roe that adorned the top like a crown jewel. Savored every bite and was reluctant to share! The linguini aglio e olio was an interesting spin on an Italian classic. With green garlic, cured tomato, and Italian olive pesto. Excellent. The Foundry fish & chips was an excellent choice as well. Line caught cod lightly battered with creamy slaw, charred lemon, and tavern fries. The full service bar has some interesting finds as well including some classics like the Paper Plane and Dark and Stormy cocktail. Can't decide? Get a sample flight adventure choice of three for $16. Not of age? The Zero Proof section has some unique offerings. My niece loved the hibiscus chill. Service and staff are professional and friendly and our waitress Monica was outstanding. If my next visit shows the same level of consistency and execution, I'll upgrade to 5 star.

    Second time coming here, loved it the first time we had to come back. Sweet potato salad looks small but packs great flavour, the burger is delicious and we had the cocktail flight. Will come back here again.
